Just saw King Lear on DVD…magnificent, mesmerizing, amazing performance by Ian Mckellan. I cannot comprehend the brilliance of his performance, it’s that good! I followed by pulling out my Shakespeare…I would read the scene first and then watch the performance. Hail to the King (McKellan)and hail to Mr. Shakespeare. When one understands and absorbs the words….unreal and awesome! No wonder he will go on forever.

This production of King Lear is amazing! I read the play this year in my AP English class, and Ian McKellen and the rest of the cast do an exquisite job of accurately portraying this masterpiece. This is a treasure for all Shakespeare lovers and students.

I have always liked Ian McKellen’s acting, but I’ve never really appreciated it fully until now–with his rendering of Lear. He’s brilliant–and it’s no wonder when I hear him discuss his understanding of the role. I can only imagine that between Trevor Nunn’s direction and Mckellen’s preparation it’s understandable how the rest of the cast has ascended the heights of this remarkable play.

I love Ian Mckellen. My husband was the one whom had introduced me to this amazing actor. I love an actor who can disappear into any role,and you never see the actor at all. Ian Mckellen is the one who can do this best. I love him,and he is one of the finest actors in the world.
